Submission + - Pirate Bay Facing A More 'Old Fashioned' Pressure (arstechnica.com)
Jety writes: "Ars Technica has an article reporting that The Pirate Bay is facing legal pressure from a new front. A wealthy musician with a track record for going head-to-head with record labels and little kids is now joining the queue to take a legal swing at TPB. What I find particularly interesting about this article is the description of the "camera-toting investigators following [The Pirate Bay admins] around in cars marked with Danish plates."
This sort of borderline-harassment raises an interesting question: with billions of dollars on the line, and the 'pure evil' of those who stand to lose it, how long will it be before someone takes a page from the Tony Soprano playbook and TPB headquarters mysteriously burns down or one of the admins has an 'unfortunate accident'? Though the question strikes me as a bit sensationalistic, a part of me marvels that it hasn't happened already."
